Lam Chittaphong, DDS

Dr. Chittaphong is a true professional. I had a root canal done by him this afternoon. The facilities were new & modern. The staff was very professional and also entertaining.
Naturally, I was nervous going into the procedure. I thought I’d feel pain & discomfort. After all, it’s not like filling a cavity, it’s dental surgery.
We all know about the local anesthesia shot with that dreaded long, scary looking needle given by all dentists. When Dr. Chittaphong does it, you don’t feel a thing. I didn’t even realize he had started with the shot until he was done! Next thing you know, your mouth is numb & you’re off to the races. The man has magical fingers.
I was so comfortable during the operation, I actually fell asleep! If you’re looking for an experienced Endodontist with the bedside manner of a relaxation therapist, go see this guy.

Great Staff! I was a guinea pig for a new staff member– and still everything was done professionally. Dr Chittaphong is very knowledgeable, patient and friendly — guided me through everything. Told me when to expect ‘what’ during the whole procedure– and very attentive at your pain levels and body cues. Very Clean and well put together office… which told me that these guys look like they know what they are doing — and the procedure confirmed it. Appointment was easy to make, and even though I was late, they took me in and took care of me! Gave me a prescription and emailed me instructions on post-​root canal care. Reviewed all my insurance information and confirmed all the details before doing anything. If I had to go back to get another one done, definitely would be with this doc.
Only thing was that he left me hanging on the post procedure fist bump… but I guess a firm handshake will have to do. 5 stars.

Let’s be real: no one WANTS to have a root canal… but I can almost say it was a pleasure having Dr Chittaphong attend to mine and his office manager and dental assistant were lovely to me too.
The website was beautiful and I did all my paperwork online ahead of time. The office is modern and easy to find with plenty of parking (and refreshments!!)
I can’t promise you the same, but I’ve had NO PAIN and would absolutely return if, heaven forbid, I ever need more root canals.

Dr. Chittavong is a great guy. Very professional always asked during the procedure if there was slightly discomfort to let him know. The root canal didn’t hurt. Hated my root canal done in my old dentist whom I had since child hood. Which comes to find out needs to be redone because it was infected. Used to hate going to the dentist which was one of the main reason I haven’t been in 2 years. but he made it easy, told me the procedures and even followed up the next day after the root canal. The staff was very good too. No complaints.

Had my wisdom tooth root canal done yesterday at 2:30 PM by Dr. Lam Chittaphong, it took about an hour, I am painless afterward, I didn’t need any pain medication even gone to the golf range at Hodges in the evening.
He was very gentle and his skill is amazing. Strongly suggest this place !!! he also employs good dental assistant and receptionist.

Dr. Lam Chittaphong is the best endodontic is town hands down!
First off I would like to say that I don’t write reviews but, I had to write one for this dentist. I’m a person who hates the dentist I rather have major surgery then go to the dentist. Dr. Chittaphong
And staff were very nice and very professional made me feel as comfortable as possible I really appreciate the professionalism and the comfort level that they gave me to insure me I would be OK.

Dr. Chittaphong was recommended by a friend who does a lot of research before going to see any doctor. So when I needed a root canal, I knew I would go to her for a recommendation.
Parking was easy right outside the building. As I entered, the office looked modern and the receptionist was really nice/​welcoming. There is a bathroom in the office itself so it was convenient when my toddler had to use the restroom.
Dr. Chittaphong did my root canal and it was PAINLESS. He made me feel comfortable and talked me through step by step while checking my pain level constantly. He is easy going and is easy to talk to. I found out he went to UCSF and USC! Those are the top dental/​endo programs in the U.S. So that also assured me that I’m getting the best treatment. Anyways, I rarely write reviews but I highly recommend Dr. Chittaphong for root canal.

Dr. Chittapong along with his staff are just awesome! Very caring, helpful and professional. I came here on an emergency visit with a severe tooth ache. From beginning to end, they just took the best care of me, walking me through every step of my treatment. Best root canal experience!!! Thanks Dr. Chittapong and staff!!! :)

My first hopefully only root canal… Was scared as heck but I survived … It wasn’t bad at all … Dr Lam and staff made me feel comfortable and they worked efficiently… The office was immaculate… Excellent experience… If I am referred back… This will be the Endodontist I will definitely go back to. Thanks Dr Lam!!!

I really wouldn’t wish a root canal on anyone… but if you need one, thank goodness for Dr. Chittaphong and his staff. I was told by my dentist that I had to get a root canal and Dr. Chittaphong was on his list of recommendations. I choose based off the Unilocal reviews and I was NOT disappointed.
His staff did an excellent job handling all the paperwork and made things really easy. The office feels so welcoming yet private. The staff and modern equipment made things really efficient and I was in and out way quicker than I expected. Dr. Chittaphong did a good job telling me what to expect, how long it would take, pain management, etc… Being able to watch Netflix helped too. Ha. It was honestly pretty perfect.
If you need it, I can’t recommend this place enough.

Many thanks to Dr Chittaphong! He did my root canal. I was terrified that it would be a nightmare (I had a past awful dental experience) but was shocked that it was painless. I liked how he took his time and did not rush.
He is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I highly recommend him.

I had to see Dr. C again and went to his new office off of Miramar Rd. I’m blown away by how modern the new place looks! Feels like you are going to a first class hotel instead of the dentist. Some things that I really liked 1) it has a TV that I get to control while getting my teeth done 2) everything is new and clean 3) easy online registration through his website.
The service was first class as well. His staff was very friendly both before and after my visit. Dr. C had a lot of patience and answered my questions thoroughly. He’s always been friendly and takes time to make me comfortable.
I’m so glad my general dentist told me about Dr. C!

Thank you Dr. Chittaphong for taking such great care of me! Lets face it, no one wants to get a root canal but he made my experience exceptional! I was in severe pain and Dr. Chittaphong was able to squeeze me in the next day. His office was easily accessible right off the 15 freeway. Dr. Chittaphong’s office is a beautiful, contemporary, state-​of-​the-​art dental office complete with coffee and drinks for his patients. The staff was friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I LOVED the personal flat-​screen TV’s with headphones that helped me forget I was even at the dentist. Dr. Chittaphong was very professional, experienced, and efficient. To ease my nervousness, he explained the entire procedure in detail and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. The whole experience was pain-​free, and honestly… very pleasant! I walked away pain-​free and feeling great! I highly recommend Dr. Chittaphong and could not have asked for a better experience.

Thank Goodness I was able to find Dr. Chittaphong.
So Long story short, I saw him a few months ago for a consult but didn’t get my root canal done cause my insurance benefits was maxed out. I called the office recently when I received my new coverage and wanted to get my treatment with Dr. Chittaphong, but he wasn’t there anymore. I heard Awesome reviews about him, so I was super bummed he wasn’t there anymore. So I Tracked him down myself. Even Better It turns out he Open up his Own Office. SCRIPPS MESA ENDO was able to get me in ASAP and I couldn’t be more Happier with getting my tooth done! I had the best Tooth
Seriously go see Dr. Chittaphong!!!
